law and morals

Law consists of formal rules and regulations established by governments to maintain order, protect rights, and ensure justice. It is enforceable through official institutions like courts and police. Morals are personal or societal beliefs about right and wrong, guiding individual behavior based on ethics and values. While laws are written and enforceable, morals are more about personal conscience and cultural norms. Sometimes they overlap, but they can also differ—laws may require actions not morally accepted, or vice versa. In essence, law is the practical framework for social order, and morals serve as the ethical compass guiding individual conduct.
